Important Notes/Warning

• This product is not for use in microwave ovens.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not expose probe directly to flame. Doing so will cause wire to deteriorate.
• When not in use, turn the digital thermometer off to conserve battery.
• Be sure to use a good quality alkaline battery and replace it often. A weak battery will cause the unit to lose accuracy.Always dispose of depleted batteries safely.
• A food thermometer can assist in the proper preparation of food. However, use of this electronic device does not guard against unsafe food handling practices. Always follow proper food preparation techniques to limit the risk of food borne illness.
• The stainless-steel wire probe should not be exposed to oven temperatures exceeding 716 °F (380°C).
• Do not let probe or cable come into direct contact with the oven elements, as this will result in faulty readings and/or damage.
• If the temperature exceeds or falls below the measurable ranges, the LCD screen will display the following letters: HHH for temperatures above range and LLL for temperatures below  range.
• If the unit displays LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
• If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly, check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food to outside.

Battery Installation/Set Up

• Slide open the battery compartment door at the back of the unit.
• Insert one (1) AAA battery according to the polarity markings.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
• Remove the printed vinyl sticker from the LCD screen.

Operating Instructions

Using the Cooking Thermometer

• Plug the temperature probes into the corresponding probe sockets on the right side of the device.
• Make sure the probe cable is free of knots. Make sure the sensor plug at the end of the probe cable is fully inserted into the probe sockets. (Note: if the probe is not plugged in properly or is crimped, the display will show LLL.)
• Slide the switch on the back of the device to choose between displaying the temperature in °For ·c.
• Set your desired cooking temperatures for the probes by choosing Quick Temperature Setting or User-defined Temperature Setting. (see Section Quick Temperature Setting and User-defined Temperature Setting below) 
• Place food into the smoker/oven. Before closing the smoker lid or oven door, make sure there is enough slack in the steel mesh probe cable to prevent the probe from being pulled out of the food when the smoker lid or oven door is closed. The thermometer must be positioned outside of the smoker/oven on a stable surface and must be firmly connected to the temperature probes.
• Insert the tip of the probe at least 2· /5cm into the thickest part of the meat, but not near bone or gristle.
• To prevent damage to the thermometer, it should not be placed on a hot surface.
• When the internal temperature of your food reaches the temperature you have set, an audible alarm will sound. Press any button to stop the alarm.
• Before removing the food from the oven, disconnect the steel mesh probe cables from the device. Do not touch hot probe or wire with bare hands during or just after cooking. Always wear a heat-resistant glove.
• Clean the stainless temperature probe with hot water and soap and rinse clean. Do not submerge the probe and cable in water. The probe /cable connection is not waterproof.

1. Press the PROBE/ to select between Probe 1 to 4.
2. Press the MEAT/HI/LO button when the current temperature is flashing to rotate through preset meat temperatures.
3. Press the PROBE/ button to confirm your preset meat temperature selection (The thermometer will automatically confirm the selection if you don’t press any buttons for 5 seconds).
4. Repeat the above process to set any other probe’s temperature.

BBQ Temperature Range Setting

You can select any Probe to monitor BBQ/Smoker /Oven temperature to make sure it won’t exceed or go below the set High/Low temperatures.

Fast Target Temperature Setting

• To quickly set the target temperature of the other three probe with current selected probe’s settings, press and hold the PROBE/ and MEAT/HI/LO keys at the same time for 3 seconds to quickly set all probes’ target temperature to the current probe set target temperature.
• For example, when probe 1 selects BEEF MEDIUM 160F, press and hold the PROBE/ and MEAT/HI/LO keys at the same time, the target temperature of PROBE 2, 3, 4 will be set to BEEF MEDIUM 160F.
